😱 ✨ 👗 for maeve and elena!
WE FINALLY ANSWERED IT BOIS thank u v much for the prompts mwah xoxo // prompts i’d like to receive  
[  😱     ] does your muse have any specific fears? where did those fears come from?
MAEVE — 
scared of griffins after one or two rough encounters, especially that one where she thought dietrich fucking Died getting shoved off a rooftop and then she had to scramble away before her ass got tossed off as well. 
gets a bit nervous if all windows in a space are shuttered/have their curtains closed because it reminds her of the vibe to the sommers estate when carden was around.
feels uneasy when getting too close to fires, can sometimes have her fight-flight-or-freeze triggered if a witcher pops off an igni while next to her and she’s not prepared. initially came from the time carden started throwing all of her writings into a fireplace and she foolishly tried to reach for them out of distress and desperation while he kept on, a move that left her with a burn scar along the underside of one arm (which one i cannot remember atm whoops). add on the no doubt countless encounters she’s had while traveling with witchers. and then in some verses can top it off with that vampire attack on beauclair where everything was either on fire, in ruin, occupied by a feral vampire, or all of the above and she was stuck there. ... :)
hates hates hates hates isolation so much. triggers way too many negative emotions and dreadful memories of the carden era that she usually keeps from bubbling back up by making sure she’s constantly with people. odds are she probably has at least one incident of ending up isolated while on a quest with a witcher that left a lasting mark as well because that’s just her luck.
ELENA —
i don’t think she has nearly as many fears as the bard up there, any of elena’s revolve around social anxiety. she was So Little when people started coming to her for her divine magic or asking for blessings of pelor before she knew what they really meant, it really left a mark on her. left her with a “just use your magic to solve their problem and that’s enough, that’s all they want" mindset to justify her feelings of being shy or nervous to engage in more than small talk or discussion about the issue(s) at hand. she got slightly better at it as she grew up, but the fear of speaking to large crowds or potentially needing to deliver some kind of inspiring speech never really left. smth smth she’s just babey, her charisma is all from her appearance, kindness and the vibes of Pure Good that she gives off from being a divine soul daughter of pelor, she’s not here for deep speeches go ask azlana if you need one of those.
[   ✨     ] what aesthetics or symbols do you reference when writing your muse? are these backed up by canon, if your muse comes from a canon? is there any specific relevance to these choices?
MAEVE — all types of flowers, pretty corsets, fancy dresses, books books books, moments of intimacy between lovers, some more but those are the usual suspects. it’s all simply her vibes, y’know. the flowers tho, those are usually nods to white orchard or how she has them all around her homes. tulips specifically are for after the sommers estate has been entirely reworked under her guidance and she decides to make it the new sigil.
ELENA — sunlight sunlight sunlight, golden and healing hands, burning candles, fields of wheat and flowers, golden and white clothing, blonde girlies in nature. entirely all for the vibes and visuals, no deep meaning to any of it.
[   👗   ] what is your muse’s fashion sense like? are they able to dress the way they want to? what would they wear in an ideal world?
MAEVE — she's fortunate enough to have that ideal wardrobe of hers, has far too many clothes but it's something that brings her joy so who cares. i fully can see her having a room in her estate(s) dedicated just to her wardrobe—the dresses, skirts and tops, coats, cloaks, shoes, accessories, etc etc etc, it's all got its place. she's a super fan of detailing on her things and it's incredibly rare to see her in an outfit that's without any designs crafted into it, her nightgowns and underthings also have them even if it's just a simple pattern. i don’t know how to describe the fashion sense outside of you look at her and think “oh wow that outfit probably cost more than my yearly living and she looks fucking stunning��, because whatever combo of clothes she puts on that day is gonna fit the bill lmao
ELENA — i decided during character creation that it'd be funny if the granger family was stuck in the past with their fashion, so they're still rocking the more Classic fantasy style wardrobes while most of whitestone has evolved with the times. has maybe like one (1) dark red dress and the rest of her wardrobe is all light colors, shades of blue, gold and white. she sees nothing wrong with her clothes and enjoys wearing them, though it can get tedious to assemble some of the more complicated and layered looks that come from the winter season or attending social events where she’s expected to look every part The Sunblessed.
